Over the past years, I have handled various large accounts; Energizer being the latest, where I helped them to develop and refresh most of it’s European pack graphics, as well as develop an on-line extranet to enable them to access artworks easily.

At the same time, I have been involved with various literature and guidelines for blue chip clients including Deutsche Bank, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Royal Bank of Scotland, Thomson Travel and International Herald Tribune.

We are planning to move to Hong Kong so my wife can be closer to her family, and I am looking forward to the challenge of living in an exciting city, and creating graphics for a new audience.
